Would you like to be a bit more explicit? I don't understand what you mean.

OK. There are two user accounts on my Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. Call
them pete and joe. I use pete.

When I create an account, its files may be placed in
C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/pete/Application%20Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/default/
etc.


or in the corresponding folder under joe. I have no idea why TB uses both.

I would like to get all the files into the pete hierarchy. I know I can
copy them and change the folder location for each in TB, but that seems
rather tedious and I have no idea whether or not there are any pathnames
in any of the configuration files.

Besides, I have several files with the same name -- eg., prefs.js -- in
both places.

tools/accounts settings
joe acc/
"server settings" but also "copies and folders"

and a filter to direct all incoming joe in pete's folders

I think that's your shorthand way of saying "No, there's no simple way."
